PHOTOS: Tent City Rides Onto Campus

The Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure chose the Southeast Ohio area for it’s annual Summer trek, and Marietta is one of five stops.  Marietta College has become home to over 2,000 bicycle riders from all over the place.  The GOBA caravan arrived on Sunday for set-up, and includes medical staff, shower trucks, bike stores, and four trailers to haul all of the luggage and camping gear for the riders.  While bikers were given the option of paying to stay in McCoy, many chose to stay in tents in any level grassy surface they could find.  Here are photos of the tent city that appeared Monday.
